The Ressurection of Al Gore

The Ressurection of Al Gore

He invented the Internet (sort of). He became President (almost). Now Al Gore has found his true calling: using the power of technology to save the world.

One evening last December, in front of nearly 2,000 people at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium, Al Gore spoke in uncharacteristically personal and passionate terms about the failed quest that has dominated much of his adult life. Save for his standard warm-up line - "Hi, I'm Al Gore, and I used to be the next president of the United States" - there was hardly a mention of the White House. Instead, during the next 90 minutes, Gore had plenty to say about thinning polar ice caps, shrinking glaciers, rising carbon dioxide concentrations, spiking temperatures, and hundreds of other data points he has woven into an overpowering slide show detailing the catastrophic changes affecting the earth's climate.

THE GORE FACTOR....

Well...here it is ...November 19th, 2007. No Al-No race- No way.....So I thought it might be more appropriate to alter this site towards not just all things Al....but a bit of what ails us and hopefully what heals us.Oh Man! we are in for a very long 4 years...anything short of Al Gore is just disaster.I'll try to be open about Hillary....I can't even stomach the thought of a republican....I'm just tired of voting for the lesser of two..and not being able to embrace the real thing for me.
